Our Story
Minis With A Mission, Inc. was conceived by Marianne Hartmann in 2017 while volunteering at an equine rescue. Knowing and believing from the heart in the healing power of equines, she started training and working with rescued mini horses Fluffernutter (or Fluff), Pixie, and Romeo to bring them to schools, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospice homes, and community events.
​The response to the mini horses was magical and overwhelmingly positive. In the Summer of 2020, after having volunteered together at the equine rescue, Marianne joined with Laurie Lowe to integrate donkeys, and together they established Minis With A Mission, Inc., as an independent nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status. We look forward to many great years ahead.
